Hydrogen Fuel Rod

End Product, Fuel

With a further development of cryo-technology, we can liquefy hydrogen to make fuel rod with higher energy. The higher the energy of the fuel rod, the more increase of the mecha fuel power.

Summary

Hydrogen Fuel Rods are a mid-game fuel source made from hydrogen and titanium ingots. They are more efficient and contain more energy than early-game energy sources (such as energetic graphite), but are slightly harder to acquire. They an be used in thermal power stations and the Icarus' core reactor.

Player Tips & Tricks

Crafting 10 hydrogen into 2 hydrogen fuel rods confers a 20% raw energy gain (+18 MJ). The net energy gain (subtracting power used by assemblers and sorters) is 18.6% (+16.8 MJ).
Hydrogen Fuel Rods burn for 25 seconds in a Thermal Power Station. One Assembling Machine Mk.I producing Hydrogen Fuel Rods can support 6 Thermal Power Stations. Compared to simply burning raw Hydrogen, this is not recommended due to the number of assembling machines that would be required.

Historical

Prior to Patch 0.6.17.5972, Hydrogen Fuel Rods had an energy value of 40 MJ.
